The big move!

Well we took a big leap of faith and moved to Lewiston. Buddy accepted a job at ATK which builds bullets and has some major production contracts with the government. I have transferred my schooling from EITC to Lewis Clark State and am now attacking my BA instead of my Associates. I'm pretty excited, but am definately doing some major adjusting not being so close to family and friends. It is hard, but I think that we have some great opportunities at hand. I will post a few pictures of our new place and my kids :) They are growing so quick! Maddi is at the stage of jabbering and then some english then back to jabber. Its great. Burton is getting so smart and can almost sing his abc's all by himself.

Well we love you all! Thanks for reading!

Ohhh Madilyn....

Madilyn is pretty funny and seems to get into things at the masses. She is so much fun though. I had to snag a pic of her when she did this because it was just too funny.

Welcome Spring!

Well I know it has definately been a while since my last post. My house sure has been busy. Just a little update on what we've been doing....
Burton is three years old and is such a little boy! He is so smart and always has a thought on what to do next, as in he rarely holds still. He loves playing nija turtles on the x box and pretends he is one quite often. He really is a hoot. And so smart too! He can run the tv, x box and dvd players all too well, which is both a good and bad thing. He is so sneaky. He'll wake up sneak over close my bedroom door and then run and turn on an x box game (since he's supposed to ask before playing).

Madilyn is now standing up by herself and trying to walk more and more everyday. She is so proud of herself which is so fun to watch. She is such a sweetheart too! She will sit next to me and snuggle and jabber away. She is starting to say more words too, I sure am just tickled pink for how cute her personality is.

Buddy is working at The Cellar and just loves it. He is able to stay home with the kids while I'm at school and work and then goes to work when I get home.

I am working at Randall Crane Attorneys and have been there almost a year now. I am also still going o school and should be able to graduate next spring.

We have a new addition to our family and his name is BumbleBee. He is an 11 month old pug and /is super crazy most of the time but we sure love him. We are still in training mode with him and potty training and getting him to not eat paper is definately a challenge.

We sure are excited for the warm weather that has started to come our way. We went to the park yesterday and man everyone had a blast and was so good even the dog!!

I am not taking any summer classes this year so I will be able to spend all my time I'm not at work relaxing and playing with my kids. I'm so excited!!

This is just a pic of my kids all cracked out on Easter after the Easter Bunny came and we opened our baskets he left us!!!

See this is why they look cracked out :)

Pumpkin Carving

This is our set up outside. Buddy and Burton did the skeleton and Madilyn and I did the scary clown.

Getting it set up and Maddi and I carving.

We have continued the tradition and carved pumpkins tonight. It was a blast. Burton had lots of fun and Maddi liked how it flet to squish the guts in between her fingers.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Maddi has finally conquered the sitting up... and tomorrow she will be 9 months old. Where does the time go. Maddi is also scooting around and who knows when she'll totally become mobile. We still are toothless which is fine because we are still nursing partially lol. We had a Dr. visit last week she's been having a nasty cough and I couldn't fight it anymore so we went in and she has a sinus infection, and now is on antibiotics. Other than that Maddi is all well and a happy little girl. Burton is getting excited for his upcoming birthday and since I asked him what he wants and what kind of cake he wants all I hear is I want this and I want that at my party mom. Right now we are having 3 different cakes and all the toys on the commercials from Nick, Disney and Cartoon Network. GO figure. He is getting so smart and catching on to all the little things we say. I think my favorite thing he copies is "shhhh you're driving me nuts!" Is that bad I tell my children that... its all out of love at least right :) This pic of Burton is at my birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse and he is wearing the birthday hat. Silly kid. I am very blessed to have the kids I do I sure love them.

My house sure has been busy the last 2 months. We have been moving and going to school and working and just finished midterms so we have barely had the time to breathe. I am hoping things start to slow down a little so we can catch up and maybe my kids won't grow as fast if time slows.... good luck right? Well we love you all and hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Quick pics

Burton and his "super hero jammies" It has a cape and yes he runs all over the back yard with the cape on :)

Maddi and her toys... she is actually playing with them and not just eating her feet
Burton and Maddi, they love each other they smile and laugh at eachother all day long

And then just an updated pic of me my hair is getting really long, trying not to cut it, but it is getting harder every day

Summer and Madilyn is seven months!

Well its been ages, but I am writing a quick post. We are all doing wonderful. Getting ready to move out of my mom's. I have officially packed my first box. I am working for a criminal defense law firm in downtown Idaho Falls. It is a great office. Very nice people. Burton is running around, we are going through the super hero stage. Grandma Lisa bought him some jammies with a cape so trying to stay up on the laundry of that pair of jammies has been a task. I am going to have to invest in another pair or two for him. That and he finds towels all over and will bring the towel and a hairband to you and say "SUPERHERO". He is so cute and full of energy. Madilyn is rolling around everywhere and eating solids now. She is growing so fast. She is seven months today. I can 't even believe that I am saying that. The second child grows so much faster than your first. :( Buddy and I start school the 24th of August. So just short of 2 weeks! I am so excited to go back to school and get back with my school friends :) I really enjoy the program I am in. I am taking 5 classes this semester a big jump from my 2 last semester but also not as many as last fall as I was taking 7. Buddy is taking his prereq's for the Surgical Technician program. He is really excited and nervous all at the same time. It has been 6 years since he has been in school. Other than that this summer has been full of swimming, fishing, walks, bbqing, playing at the park, fireworks, blowing bubbles, going to weddings, bowling, baking cookies (with Burton and mom) and one trip of camping (which Burton enjoyed except for the sleeping in a tent. He kept screaming I want my bed!). All is well in our world, hoping everything is well in yours! Sending our love
